(2539) Carl Finlow, the UK electro auteur returns with Entangled, his latest full-length salvo that finds the electro luminary weaving a dense matrix of machine soul and synthetic introspection. Known for pioneering the sound of machine soul under aliases like Silicon Scally and Random Factor, here Finlow shifts focus toward slow-burning, emotionally rich electro that feels both intricate and intimate. 'Only Words' opens with misty-eyed pads and skeletal beatwork, while 'Entangled' itself glistens with neon melancholy and subtle rhythmic mutations. There's a softness in the sequencing, a kind of analogue ache that lingers long after closer 'Chirality' fades out. Fans of classic UK electro and contemporary cinematic hardware jams will find this one quietly devastating.
